"THE TEQUILA TEST"

        Someone sent me another joke..I love sharing these things.. Pass it along.    

A man walks into a bar, notices a very large jar on the counter, and sees that it's filled to the brim with $10 bills. He guesses there must be at least ten thousand dollars in it.  He approaches the bartender and asks, "What's with the money in the jar?"              "Well..., you pay $10, and if you pass three tests, you get all the money in the jar and the keys to a brand new Lexus" The man certainly isn't going to pass this up, so he asks, "What are the three tests?" "You gotta pay first," says the bartender, "those are the rules." So, after thinking it over a while, the man gives the bartender $10 which he stuffs into the jar. "Okay," says the bartender, "here's what you need to do:  First - You have to drink a whole quart of tequila, in 60 seconds or less, and you can't make a face while doing it." "Second - There's a pit bull chained in the back with a bad tooth. You have to remove that tooth with your bare hands." "Third - There's a 90-year old lady upstairs who's never had sex.  You have to take care of that problem." The man is stunned!  "I know I paid my $10 -- but I'm not an idiot! I won't do it!  You'd have to be nuts to drink a quart of tequila and then do all those other things!" "Your call," says the bartender, "but, your money stays where it is." As time goes on, the man has a few more drinks and finally says, "Where's the damn tequila?!"  He grabs the bottle with both hands and drinks it as fast as he can. Tears stream down both cheeks -- but he doesn't make a face – and he drinks it in 58 seconds! Next, he staggers out the back door where he sees the pit bull chained to a pole.  Soon, the people inside the bar hear loud growling, screaming, and sounds of a terrible fight -- then nothing but silence! Just when they think that the man surely must be dead, he staggers back into the bar. His clothes are ripped to shreds and he's bleeding from bites and gashes all over his body. He drunkenly says,              "Now..., where's that old woman with the bad tooth?"

"USA Today "

I want "USA Today" to know there are too many ads and commercials on their page. Especially the kind that they make you listen too, the kind you can't stop or delete. I would never ever in a million years buy or even consider buying anything from their site. The ads are too long and I won't be subjected to the messages they carry. I have cancelled their E mail alerts. If I can get even one person to cancel their alerts, I will have done my job...

9/11 Suspects Appear Before Judge for Arraignment on 2,976 counts of Murder

9/11 Suspects Appear Before Judge for Arraignment on 2,976 Murder Counts | NBC New York

 The self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks repeatedly declined to respond to a judge's questions Saturday and his co-defendant was briefly restrained at a military hearing as five men charged with the worst terror attack in U.S. history appeared in public for the first time in more than three years.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-defendants were being arraigned at a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay on charges that include that include 2,976 counts of murder for the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

The hearing quickly bogged down before they could be arraigned as the men engaged in what appeared to be a concerted silent protest against the proceedings.

Comment....Just a few things on this...Are they going to publicize the names of the lawyers defending these murderers? What has taken so long aside from the usual lawyer dirty trick tactics...If they tried these murderers in Connecticut there is no death penalty. The Governor just signed that into law..

  

"Psychology Of Fraud: Why Good People Do Bad Things"

Psychology Of Fraud: Why Good People Do Bad Things : NPR

 Enron, Worldcom, Bernie Madoff, the subprime mortgage crisis.
Over the past decade or so, news stories about unethical behavior have been a regular feature on TV, a long, discouraging parade of misdeeds marching across our screens. And in the face of these scandals, psychologists and economists have been slowly reworking how they think about the cause of unethical behavior.
In general, when we think about bad behavior, we think about it being tied to character: Bad people do bad things. But that model, researchers say, is profoundly inadequate.
Which brings us to the story of Toby Groves.

Comment....Interesting story.

"No More Computer Issues"

I fixed my computer. One week later and this time almost without any anxiety I fixed it by accident. I decided to do this at my leisure and not to worry about it..In fact I kept this, I  don't care attitude all week until .....Wait, let me start from the beginning.. The trouble started last week when I decided to relocate the computer, lets just say rearrange the living room and I did...I moved everything to the new location and reconnected everything back to the system. However, in a little while noticed that something was wrong. The speed was off, it had slowed down. First I thought it was the length of wire I used to connect it from the phone circuit on the other side of the room..Wrong, that wasn't it...Next I disconnected the electronic slimline tower deciding that it needed to be cleaned. I then took it outside to blow it out with high pressure canned air.. That quieted it down and it runs cooler now but it was still slow..Next I deleted, lets just say many old movies and useless files. I'm a saver so you can just imagine. I then spent the morning defraging and compressing. It was still slow...I then downloaded all the Windows updates I neglected to do in the past, thinking that could be the answer. It wasn't...It now was a few days later and I decided to ask someone what happened?...Many EM answers from a lot of thoughtful people arrived. Most trying to sell me one registry cleaner or another..Having a brain and a lot of experience in these things I declined. Never ever download strange things that allow someone to go into your personal files. Its like giving away the key to the vault...As I was coming home the other day I seen the phone guy in his truck so I stopped and asked him what could possibly be wrong? That is when I got my first clue...Can you guess what the problem was? No OK. He said, "It sounds like you lost your BPS speed. What ever that is? I have no idea. He then said, "How many phones are on the same circuit?" Call in the in the problem and have a technician come out to check the speed". Get it yet? No, OK. Yesterday as I was downloading an English TV series that I enjoy. It was then that I received a phone call from a friend of mine..I innocently answered the phone and at the same time I noticed the red light go on the DSL thing on my desk. OMG that told me that the phone circuit was overloaded...Right, when I disconnected the computer to move it I inadvertently connected it back the wrong way. So later that day using all new phone company connections that I could find, I reconnected it and now the speed is mind boggling. Duh...I have worked with controls and wires, both high voltage and low voltage all my life. I wasn't angry this happened...I was more embarrassed that I would do something like this...The bottom line here is the computer is cleaned out in more ways than one and it runs great now...Almost like new.
